Lidl first submitted a planning application for a new supermarket on a plot of land between the Old Park Roundabout and Rock Road in August 2021, eventually securing that permission in April 2023.

The following January - claiming the application had spent so long in the system that the trading guidelines had changed - the company applied to make the store bigger and new designs were submitted.
